The Alpha Secret Luna

Chapter 1

Ava's POV

"No, please! Just one more week! I swear, I'll get the money!"

It was another week again and I still had no 5 million dollars to pay the Creditors

I woke up on a very bad note.

My mother's hospital bill was piling up and I had no where else to get money from except my cleaning job.

I knelt on the cold , beer stained floor , my hands trembling as I held onto the man's shoe. The creditors kicked me off like I was a piece of trash.

"One more week? You've been saying that for months, Ava. Do you think we run a charity organization?" His voice was so low , and dangerous.

I shook my head violently, crawling back to him , ignoring the disgusted stares of the bar customers. "I will get it! I will! Just give me time!"

Then he laughed, it was a cruel and mocking laughter.

"Time? You think time will erase five million dollars of debt? Your parents borrowed , gambled , and left you to clean up their mess. That's not my problem, like it's not of our business, You owe us. We want our money.. that's it!"

Tears burned down my cheeks.

My body was already weak from working double shifts , but I pushed myself up and grabbed his pant leg again.

"Please, I'll do anything.. Just don't hurt me."

Another kick. This time , I tasted blood. My lip was split, and pain shot through my jaw.

"Hurt you ? Oh, sweetheart , you haven't even begun to suffer yet. If you don't have the money by tomorrow, we'll take something else."

I froze. My heart stopped. "W.. what do you mean?"

His smile was so slow , yet wicked. "Never mind, just make sure you get the money by tomorrow, Or else.. "

The air was knocked out of my lungs. The room spun. "No.. no, please." I begged

"One. More. Day." He stepped back , leaving me on the dirty floor, surrounded by shattered glass and spilled beer. "Don't disappoint us ." He said

I watched his shoes disappear out of the bar. My vision was blurred. My fingers dug into the ground.. My entire body shook as sobs ripped through me..

"Ava! Get up! You're making a damn scene!" My boss , Mr Carson, grabbed my arm and yanked me to my feet. "Do you think customers wanna see a crying girl on the floor ? Clean this mess up and get back to work!"

"And I don't want this to repeat it self again, take your personal business out of my workspace."

I wiped my tears with the back of my hand , nodding weakly.

My entire body ached , but I bent down , picking up the broken glass with shaky fingers.

"Pathetic," one of the waitresses muttered. "Always crying. Always begging. It's just so embarrassing."

I ignored her. I ignored everything. Not like i could do anything.

My heart felt too heavy. My chest was too tight..

Five million dollars. In one day.

It was definitely impossible.

I barely made a hundred dollars a month scrubbing floors , wiping tables , and dodging wandering hands.

How could I ever pay off that kind of debt?
